I'm pretty new to developing for the web so bare with me. I have a company page with multiple locations and emails etc at each of these addresses. The idea is to have a single modalpopup to edit each type of data (one for email, one for urls, one for addresses etc).
I link the modalpopupextender to a hiddenbutton and then call an edit function from various places where I can populate some hiddenfields and textboxes in the panel before showing it. The code executes but it just wont show the damn popup, I just see a flash and can't figure out if its my panel, my css or something I don't understand about ajax and postbacks etc.
Things i've tried after reading various threads:
Disable smart navigation in web.config
Move ToolKitScriptManager up to master page and use proxy in content
set hiddenbutton to use style="display:none"
tried links etc instead of hidden button
Heres my code
CSS
.modalBackground
{
position: absolute;
z-index: 100;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
background-color: #000;
filter: alpha(opacity=60);
-moz-opacity: 0.6;
opacity: 0.6;
}
.modalPopup {
background-color: #FFD;
border-width: 3px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: gray;
padding: 3px;}

}
Stuff makes so much more sense in a desktop environment, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks
